Abstract
An electronic device may have a display such as an organic light-emitting diode display. The display may have an active area formed from an array of pixels with light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diodes may be formed from an organic layer containing emissive material between an anode layer and a cathode layer. Apertures may be formed in the active area of the display. The apertures may allow light to pass to light-sensitive components under the display. A polarizer may overlap the display and may have a bleached area that forms part of a camera aperture. Light may pass through the camera aperture to a camera under the display. The display may have an array of apertures that allow light to pass to a light-sensitive fingerprint sensor under the display.
